    We use Toyota ATF W/S for the transmission and 75W90 gear oil for the diffs and transfer case.

    I get 12 mostly city with 3” lift and 285/70s and a snorkel, hand calculated. My round trip commute though is ~7 miles each day.

    I was commuting 95% highway at one point and could get 16. The short city commutes kill the mpg. Honestly though I got about 14-16 in my 5vzfe Tacoma, only mild 1.5” lift with 265/75/16s, on the same exact 7 mile daily route, so it’s not really terrible in comparison with my speedy driving habits added in.

    calculated and the readout are identical, have measured both. *disclaimer I've only ran 2 tanks through it and both were pretty much 95% highway miles at the speedlimit.

    Sometimes I loathe trips in the GX. I can get about 15mpg, but it feels way worse when looking at the gas gauge. lol.
